The wingnut meme is that if you “work hard” you will “earn more”

This is bullshit.

People who work at menial jobs in retail and fast food “work harder” than degreed, experienced professionals who sit around in a cubicle writing code (while posting to LGF & Twitter).

I’ve noticed most of those who push the “work harder” line are Boomers whose most recent familiarity with minimum wage labor was hectoring the kid at the McDonald’s for there being pickles on their burger. They seem to think, almost to a person, that things are just as they were in the 60s and 70s, between the ease of finding a job (“Just walk in and ask!”), the ease of getting a raise (“Just work hard!”), and the affordability of basic necessities (“You kids don’t know how good you got it!”).
